Bonus Ko-fi update
Jian Suiying woke up uncomfortably under the rays of sunlight. He opened his eyes with difficulty and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling, curtains, and everything else in the room. He closed his eyes and shook his head uncomfortably, wanting to shake off his pounding headache.
A man came in from outside and whispered, “Are you awake?”
Jian Suiying opened his eyes and saw an attractive young man standing by the door. He was wearing a thin beige sweater and coffee-striped pajamas. His collarbone was faintly visible at the collar of his shirt. The person looked gentle and harmless.
“Xiao Zhu?” Jian Suiying frowned at him. “Why are you here?”
Xiao Zhu approached him and handed him the water prepared on the bedside table, “Jian Shao, drink some water first.”
Only then did Jian Suiying realize that his voice was hoarse and dry.
He drank the entire glass in one gulp, then wiped his mouth and looked at him doubtfully.
Xiao Zhu smiled at him, “Yesterday you called Vince, but his boyfriend was at his home, so he contacted me instead and sent you over to me.”
Jian Suiying recalled that he indeed called Vince. After the call, he couldn’t remember anything at all. He lay back in bed and spoke quietly, “I haven’t seen you in a long time.” Since he made up with Li Yu, Li Yu forced him to delete all his suspicious-looking contacts on his phone. The first one among them was “Little Pig“.
A gloomy look flashed in Xiao Zhu’s eyes, “Yes, I haven’t seen you in a long time.” He unconsciously pulled the blanket up for Jian Suiying. “Do you still want to sleep or do you want to eat?”
Jian Suiying stared at the ceiling dumbly, as if he was out of his mind, and did not answer him.
Xiao Zhu observed him attentively for a while, and suddenly felt his cheeks burning. He quickly got up and said, “Let me bring you some food.”
Xiao Zhu brought Jian Suiying a bowl of rice, two dishes and a bowl of soup.
Jian Suiying sat up from bed and ate something casually.
Xiao Zhu sat quietly by the bed, watching him eat with his eyes following the movement of Jian Suiying’s chopsticks.
Jian Suiying got too lazy to eat after taking a few bites, and casually asked, “Where are we?”
Xiao Zhu was stunned at the question and quietly replied, “It’s the house that Jian Shao had given me.”
“Oh.” No wonder he was a bit familiar with the layout of the bedroom. “You’ve decorated it beautifully.”
Xiao Zhu laughed, “I often go and check interior design stores when I am not at work, which saves me a lot of money.”
Jian Suiying nodded at this. “You don’t work at Vince’s anymore? I didn’t see you last time I went over.”
Xiao Zhu smiled sheepishly. “Vince told me that I wasn’t suitable to work in their line of business. He helped me find a job in a vocational school and I’m teaching hairdressing now. I think it’s very nice.”
“Oh, you’re a teacher, that’s good.”
“Well, students are easier to get along with than customers. The school also promised to help me with my Beijing hukou after a few years. Vince took care of me.”
Jian Suiying thought coldly, Vince, I’m afraid the most profitable way to make a living is to pimp boys for the princelings he knows. This boy doesn’t know how much money Vince earns as the middleman for these things, so it’s obviously nothing for him to find a job for Xiao Zhu. However, Vince isn’t a bad person. This kind of thing is also one of the rules in the gay circle, so Jian Suiying opted not to tell Xiao Zhu.
He put the chopsticks aside and turned to Xiao Zhu. “Then, you’re doing rather well now.”
“En.” Little Zhu nodded, then stammered, “Thanks– it’s thanks to Jian Shao.”
Jian Suiying touched his soft cheek.
Xiao Zhu shivered, but he didn’t hide from Jian Suiying. His bright eyes stared at him unblinkingly. He looked nervous, but he didn’t try to resist.
Such an atmosphere was quite suitable to have something happen, but he was too lazy to continue. He slowly withdrew his hand. As soon as the hand left Xiao Zhu’s face, Xiao Zhu suddenly moved like a toy with springs and seized Jian Suiying’s hand.
Jian Suiying squinted at him. He saw something familiar in Xiao Zhu’s eyes.
Xiao Zhu’s mood was excited, but he immediately suppressed it. He let go of his hand gloomily and said, “Jian Shao, do you still want to eat?”

He is currently accompanied by a man who took care of him. It was better for him to stay here than to be alone in his cold apartment, which was over 300 square meters on each floor. So Jian Suiying stayed in Xiao Zhu’s house for another night.
He felt that Xiao Zhu’s personality was a lot brighter than before, for he seemed to be a little afraid of him back then. He always lowered his head and didn’t dare look at him. He hardly spoke on his own. Now, he can express his own opinions as they watch TV together. Such a Xiao Zhu was much more interesting than the beautiful shell of the past. Having ended their sugar dating relationship, the two now got along naturally like normal acquaintances do.
At night, they slept in the same bed but under separate blankets. Jian Suiying’s mind was still full of other things, so he had no mood for romance at all.
After daybreak, Jian Suiying asked for Xiao Zhu’s phone number and left.
He hasn’t been to the company for several days, and he can’t be mopey for so long just because he got scammed by some pretty boy. No matter how bad the day was, he still had to go on. If he can find something else to do, he won’t always have to think about Li Yu.
For over a year, his employees seemed to be accustomed to him not coming to work from time to time anymore. The company’s work operation was still satisfactory, which made him feel a lot better. Those two bunnies just pulled a hair from him, and it wasn’t painful at all. Why did he bother to make himself miserable anyway? Without Li Yu, he is still the proud and arrogant Jian Suiying. There were many more beautiful and sensible boys in the world besides Li Yu. He shouldn’t just hang from a tree like Li Yu forever.
Jian Suiying repeatedly told himself that no one would help him aside from himself.
After a busy day, he set an appointment for dinner in the evening and brought Secretary Liang and an executive surnamed Tang with him. After eating this meal for over two hours, Jian Suiying and several other higher ups talked happily. He usually refrained from drinking too much during meals, and most of them were drunk by others for him. This time, he had no scruples. It was a time to drink and toast. After the meal, he drank over four glasses of Baijiu alone.
Secretary Liang and Tang-zong have never seen their boss so desperate. Besides, the people with them weren’t exactly big shots, so why must he drink so much?
Secretary Liang poked Jian Suiying underneath the table several times, reminding him not to drink too much.
Jian Suiying turned a blind eye at this and got so drunk that he scared the other people. After three rounds of drinking, Jian Suiying knocked down the others one by one. Finally, Jian Suiying was also very drunk and was brought over to his car.
Secretary Liang drove, and Tang-zong accompanied him back to the apartment.
On the way, Secretary Liang deliberately left the window open for fear that he would suddenly vomit. As a result, the cold wind blew all the drunkenness away, and he eventually sobered up a bit. He just had a bad headache and sat still with his eyes closed.
The two people in the car thought he was asleep, and Tang-zong spoke quietly, “What’s the matter with the boss recently? He looks a bit depressed. This is the first time in such a long time that I’ve seen him like this.”
Secretary Liang glanced at Jian Suiying from the rearview mirror. She was a thoughtful woman and knew that the relationship between Jian Suiying and Li Yu was different from others. The reason why the two were in the hospital at the same time that day was very difficult to guess, but combined with her boss’ current situation, can she not know at least a little about what may have happened? Knowing what she knows, she can’t really say anything and can only sigh, “Maybe he has been too busy recently.”
“Is it because of the land in the Fifth Ring Road that the boss is under too much pressure? The meeting will be held in a few days, and we still don’t know what the result will be?”
Secretary Liang felt that Tang-zong was trying to gossip.
Jian Suiying’s behavior was puzzling in this matter. The executives who could attend the meeting tried to guess what was on his mind and whether he wanted to do it or not, so they could adjust their opinions according to their boss’s wishes. However, they couldn’t guess what the boss was thinking at all. If they do it right, it will be good luck. If they do it wrong, they can only admit that they’re unlucky.
Of course, they all understood that Jian Suiying had his own considerations. Whether he has made up his mind or not, he can’t be too positive. If the land is profitable, it is natural that he’ll make good decisions and operate the project well. If anything went wrong with the land, Jian Suiying could also say that it wasn’t his decision alone, but the decision of the whole board of directors. He would be a minority submitting to the majority.
In this delicate situation, Jian Suiying is naturally not comfortable exposing his position in the matter too much. Whether they can win the favor of the boss depends on their abilities.
Despite being Jian Suiying’s personal secretary, Secretary Liang is still constrained by her position and is unable to take part in such crucial decisions. Even if she could, or if she knew what Jian Suiying was thinking, as a well-trained and intelligent working woman, she would never say anything.
Secretary Liang smiled, “Yes, I really don’t know the result either. This is a big project after all.”
Tang-zong looked disappointed and stopped talking.
The two drove to the underground garage at Jian Suiying’s place. Tang-zong called a security guard to help walk Jian Suiying into the elevator.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the car door opened, Jian Suiying staggered out and slurred, “It’s okay… I can go by myself.”
Secretary Liang quickly held his arm for fear that he would fall to the ground.
He walked smoothly to the elevator under the watchful eyes of the three people.
All three of them wanted to send Jian Suiying to his home quickly so that they can finish their work and go back to their homes. Unexpectedly, as Jian Suiying inserted the key into the keyhole, the door opened from the inside.
“Xiao Li? Why are you here?” Tang-zong looked unsure. He didn’t expect to see the boss’s assistant in his own home. Did the boss even give him the keys to his house?
Secretary Liang looked at Jian Suiying and saw that his face was flushed, and he was staring at Li Yu as his breathing grew heavy. She got a little nervous. She was afraid that Jian Suiying would lose his poise in front of so many people. “Xiao Li, Jian-zong is drunk. Whatever the matter is, you can talk about it another day.”
Li Yu looked at Jian Suiying, who looked a bit unsteady, and calmly spoke to Secretary Liang and President Tang, “If you want to go back first, you can, I will take care of Jian-zong instead.”
Jian Suiying blurted out, “Who the f*ck… wants you to take care of me? Good dogs don’t stand in the way, so get away from my door.”
Tang-zong looked at Li Yu in surprise. He didn’t know how the boy offended his boss. No wonder he didn’t come by the company recently.
Li Yu was a little regretful that he had taken the plunge to come over on this specific day. Whenever Jian Suiying was drunk, it was really not a good time to talk, but he finally made up his mind and was not willing to go back so disheartened.
Secretary Liang was afraid that Jian Suiying would continue to speak ill of the boy, so she tried hard to signal at Li Yu, “Xiao Li, just hurry and go, Jian-zong drank too much, you’ll have to talk to him another day.”
Jian Suiying did drink too much, and his reasoning was basically ruined by the alcohol. He didn’t care who else was there. He only knew that Li Yu had finally let himself see him. He took advantage of this opportunity, for he didn’t know when he’ll be able to catch him next time. Fingers trembling, he pointed at Li Yu with and said, “You f*cking pretty boy, Laozi fed all my thoughts to such a dog.”
Li Yu spoke lowly, “Don’t talk, just go inside.” He wanted to help him.
Jian Suiying stepped back and cursed, “Li Yu… you bastard… I will never forgive you…”
Secretary Liang glanced awkwardly at the security guard and at the surprised Tang-zong. She held Jian Suiying and whispered, “Jian-zong, please stop talking, there are so many people.”
Jian Suiying waved his arm and shouted, “Stop talking? Why can’t I talk about it!? This… this bastard, I treated him so well, but he’s a motherf*cking… he’s an ingrate wolf who would eat you up inside out… I, I kept a dog, not to mention him… he slept with me for so long…” Jian Suiying only felt that his eyes were hot, his nose was like it smelled something sour, and alcohol amplified all his emotions. Every time he breathed, it became difficult for him to see Li Yu clearly.
In fact, he actually never saw Li Yu clearly. How sad it is that a person he has slept with for so long was someone he never really understood.
The words were so straightforward that Tang-zong immediately understood. It was no secret that Jian Suiying liked men. Li Yu had such a beautiful face, and the company’s employees have long since speculated that the two had something going on. It seemed that the relationship between the two was true. But now they’ve broken up, and it was also a very ugly breakup.
Li Yu’s face turned blue, and every word Jian Suiying said made him feel ashamed. He restrained the impulse to leave and spoke, “You’re drunk right now. Don’t speak again.” Then he put his hand over Jian Suiying’s arm and told the others without hesitation, “Go back first. I’ll take care of him.”
Secretary Liang looked at Jian Suiying, who couldn’t stand steadily, and at Li Yu, whose eyes were dark, and hesitated for a moment.
Tang-zong pulled her arm and gave her a look. Tang-zong had a clear mind. Being a subordinate, he knew that the most taboo thing was to get involved in the boss’s private affairs and love life. Today, they seemed to be fighting and quarreling. Maybe, they’ll mix honey and oil, and when Li Yu blows off in Jian Suiying’s ear, they will be the ones to suffer, so why bother?
Secretary Liang also immediately reacted and left with Tang-zong and the security guard.
Jian Suiying collapsed on Li Yu’s body, standing a little unsteadily and muttering curses.
Li Yu carried Jian Suiying into his room and put him on the bed. Looking at his drunk face, he felt sad.
Jian Suiying slowly fell asleep.
Li Yu took off his shoes, clothes, and trousers, stuffed him under the blanket, and then wiped his face with a towel dipped in warm water.
Jian Suiying, who was sleeping quietly, looked very nice. Only now could Li Yu appreciate his superior looks without having to endure his curses.
Li Yu couldn’t figure out why he would want to entangle himself with a person who would have a dispute with him every few days. He didn’t appreciate Jian Suiying’s arrogant and incorrigible character at all. The two couldn’t even get along at all.
However, when he and Jian Suiying got further and further apart recently, he found that could not bear to give Jian Suiying to others. It was like conquering the best and most vigorous horse in the whole world. Although it still had a temper from time to time and made one feel both love and hate, who was willing to give up such a creature?
Jian Suiying’s warm feelings, strong personality, and charm were like a net that could trap people firmly, but they wouldn’t be willing to break free.
Li Yu lowered his head and touched the lips he hadn’t felt in a long time, and it made his heart tingle. He grabbed the blanket and went to bed, lying beside Jian Suiying and putting his hand around him.
When he wakes up tomorrow, he will have a good talk with Jian Suiying. This man… he plans to never let him go.
—
Jian Dashao slept very heavily. He drank too much wine and was so drunk that when he woke up with a headache, he couldn’t remember what happened yesterday, and his memory was still hazy.
He felt someone behind him, lying next to him, with his arm on him. His eyes were swollen, and when he opened them, he felt uncomfortable. He pushed the person behind him and said groggily, “Xiao Zhu, go and pour me a glass of water.”
The person moved.
Jian Suiying swallowed, and the saliva passed through his dry throat like fire. “Go, Xiao Zhu, pour me water.”
A voice spoke from behind him, “Who are you calling?”
Jian Suiying was startled by the sound of the voice. When he looked back, he saw Li Yu staring at him, and he looked as if he was going to eat someone alive.
Li Yu clenched his teeth and asked again, “Whose name did you just call?”
Jian Suiying’s brain was still processing, and he hasn’t responded for a long time. What happened last night? Why was Li Yu here? Who did he just call? Whose name did he call? He regained consciousness but didn’t have time to get angry. He spoke quietly, “How— how did you get in here?” Then he immediately remembered that the key to his house was given to Li Yu by no one other than himself. F*ck.
Besides, Li Yu just woke up from his bed. Why was Li Yu in his bed? What happened after he drank too much last night? Did he call Li Yu over?
As he was trying to retrieve his memories, Li Yu’s head was smoking in anger.
The name “Xiao Zhu” to Li Yu not only referred to a person but also represented Jian Suiying’s messy love history that he despised. He never thought that when he and Jian Suiying got separated for just a little over a week, he was so unwilling to be lonely and went to find this “Xiao Zhu” again!
How much weight he felt in his heart was self-evident at the moment. It seemed that Jian Suiying didn’t lie. He really just wanted fresh, young boys. Without Li Yu, Jian Suiying could still find tens and hundreds of them. It doesn’t matter if it was Li Yu or not. If the two get separated for even just a while, he can turn his head to look for others without hesitation.
What even is Li Yu! In Jian Suiying’s mind, he’s just f*cking nothing! Li Yu felt that his heart was wrenched by an invisible hand. No one has humiliated him this much so far. Without thinking about it, he raised his hand and slapped Jian Suiying in the face.
Jian Suiying was stunned. Li Yu, took the initiative to come to his house and to make peace, instead slapped him. Why not beat him while he’s still sleeping?
The motherf*cker Li Yu had the face to slap him? Jian Suiying slapped him back without mercy, and cursed, “You have the face to that sh*t in my house!?”
Li Yu roared, “I can’t come to your house now. Is it because the bed has been given to that Xiao Zhu of yours? So me being here is disturbing your sweet days!”
Jian Suiying snapped back, “Yes, get the hell out of here if you know! Go away as far as you can. Don’t let me see you, you shameless ingrate, ever again!”
Li Yu jumped and threw him on the bed. He pressed his arm. “Say that again! I dare you to say that again!” He wanted to kill Jian Suiying. At this moment, he really wanted to kill Jian Suiying.
Jian Suiying gathered all his strength and shouted, “Go!” He roared so hard that the veins on his forehead burst out, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was red.
The muscles on Li Yu’s face were twisted into an ugly look, and his heart hurt so much that he couldn’t breathe.
Jian Suiying was no better than him, he doesn’t understand why he even likes Li Yu. Li Yu is a complete idiot. He treated him well, with all his heart and soul. But what was the result? He faced the biggest loss in his business and in his life by giving his affection to Li Yu. For the first time, he really liked a person, but he ended up with such a humiliating ending. It would be enough for him to regret for a lifetime.
Li Yu opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, but he felt that his throat was being blocked by something, and he couldn’t make a single sound. He didn’t come over to fight with Jian Suiying, he really didn’t.
He wanted to make up with him. He wanted to see Jian Suiying call him “Xiao Li-zi” with that signature smirk on his face, then jump on him enthusiastically like they used to. He wanted to happily pick out furniture with Jian Suiying. When it’s cold, Jian Suiying would go to his university to look for him. And instead of going to his home across half of Beijing, he could live there.
He doesn’t want to go on like this anymore…
But Jian Suiying had already turned and gone to find someone else. Li Yu was in his heart, but Jian Suiying was right. He was nothing. Jian Suiying was the one who doted on him, chased him, and willingly bottomed for him. Who is also the one who yelled at him to get away?
Li Yu was trembling as he had Jian Suiying under him, and he stared at Jian Suiying without saying a word, as if he would end up drilling a hole in Jian Suiying the longer he stared.
After Jian Suiying shouted, he felt a burning sensation in his already sore throat that even taking a breath was a pain. So he just glared at Li Yu.
After a while, Li Yu turned over and left.
Jian Suiying lay on his back in bed, staring at the familiar ceiling of her home, and didn’t move for a long time.
He didn’t feel well anywhere. His head hurt, his eyes were sore, and his throat was dry and hoarse. The biggest part was also his heart, which was hurting really bad. It hurt so much that he wanted to cry.
Although Jian Suiying wasn’t a good person, he has never done anything immoral, right? God really sent such a person to punish him. One punishment wasn’t enough, apparently, it had to happen again and again, one after another, kicking and pushing him to the motherf*cking bottom of the cliff. No matter how thick his skin was, the parts of his body were all made of meat. He couldn’t help but still feel Li Yu’s beating.
He was also sick in the head. He clearly knows that Li Yu was like a wolf cub that doesn’t know how to feed itself. He paid extra attention to it, but in the end, it bit back. Does he deserve it?
Jian Suiying felt that his life was terrible and chaotic. He didn’t know what he should do now or what he would face tomorrow when he went out. There were so many problems and worries in front of him, but he didn’t know how to solve them. He was truly at a loss.
He pulled the blanket over his body and planned to continue sleeping. It was better to sleep than to stay up and think about all these worries.
TL Note:
Thank you so much for the ko-fi, Anya!
